This VK-655SE is unique. It has separate control gains for each channel. After taking delivery I found out that Victor Khomenco, co-founder and designer of the BAT gears built these state of the art gains himself. They look cheap from the outside but you can see their complexity once the the top is removed.
I ordered the amp with this modification to be able to fine tune the double center channel configuration promoted years ago by Magnepan legendary GM Wendell Diller: Center CCR with bass panel CCR plus a pair of MMC-2 on the sides. One channel handled the CCR stack and the other the MMC-2. The different output of the speakers could be equalized thanks to the amp independent gains. I will put these speakers up for sale in the following days.
For you now this added feature translates in the unique advantage is to be able to fine tune for the optimal gain with your preamp.
This amp, like for the mono amps just listed, has been "honored" with one of the old stock of rear panel of the discontinued VK 600. You will find this bizarre story mentioned in one of the earlier reviews of the 655 series.
Needs a 20 Amp outlet
Original owner, mint conditions, no scratches no dents no discolorations. original boxes
As per all my listings ,No PayPal. Payment to be with Zelle, Venmo , Cash, wire transfer, Escrow.com I will cover the escrow fees.
Selling USA 48 contiguous States only. Shipping costs are insane nowadays. For direct experience with the gears I just sold, considering the massive weight of this amps the flat fee even if it seems high will not cover the actual cost.
Questions for the seller |
---|
Could you add some pictures of the insides how the gain is done? No sorry . I’m not opening it. You can trust the amp designer Victor Khomenko knows his business in building passive gains also.
I saw it once and I was told it is quite a sofisticate gain. |
Will you allow spliting up payments by thirds? No sorry |
